Title: Rubbish: The Complete Series 1 and 2: A Full-Cast BBC Radio Comedy Author: Tony Bagley Narrator: Mark Maier, Matthew Cottle, Reese Dinsdale, Martin Trenaman, Oriane Messina, Katy Brand, James Lance, Neil Dudgeon, Kevin Eldon, Paul Copley, Russell Tovey, Pippa Haywood, Nicola Walker, Full Cast Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 36 minutes Release date: December 14, 2023 Genres: Comedy, Satire & Parody Publisher's Summary: Quirky comedy from the writer of Married, following the highs and lows of a local government officer Martin Christmas is a local government worker in the Sanitation department, whose days are shaped by endless recycling initiatives and green league tables, and whose nights are shadowed by his failed relationships and curmudgeonly interior monologues. While Martin is trying to cultivate his inner peace, but things keep getting in his way: having to come up with slogans for the side of the 'Rubbish Bus', the irritating Pagans in the Youth and Leisure department, and the annual diversity workshop where he meets fellow local government worker Sarah. Whether he's trying to track down a suspicious rival whistleblower within the council, scaling the firefighter's climbing tower (naked), or joining an ex-girlfriend for a sponsored walk that may incur the wrath of some fearsome Brontë fans, Martin's life never seems to get better than... rubbish. Starring Reece Dinsdale (Coronation Street, Emmerdale Farm), with a cast including Nicola Walker (Unforgotten, Last Tango in Halifax), Oriane Messina (Green Wing), Paul Copley (Downton Abbey, Hornblower), James Lance (Teachers, Ted Lasso), Kevin Eldon (Kevin Eldon Will See You Now, Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle) and Katherine Jakeways (Miranda), this witty look at the upside of mid-life misery is perfect for listeners of Ed Reardon's Week, Little Blighty on the Down, and Married.
